Maize seed, light micrograph
Maize seed. Light micrograph of a section through the seed of a maize plant (Zea mays), showing the embryo. The embryonic area includes a radicle (bottom right) and plumule (not seen). These are the structures by which the seed will germinate and develop a root and leaf system respectively, developing into a new plant. Maize is a crop that is cultivated for its grains, which are a rich source of starch

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a maize seed, captured under a light microscope. The image reveals a section through the seed of a maize plant (Zea mays), offering an up-close look at its embryo. In this embryonic area, we can observe the presence of a radicle positioned at the bottom right corner, which will eventually develop into roots for anchoring and nutrient absorption. Although not visible in this particular micrograph, there is also a plumule that will give rise to leaf structures. The germination process begins with these essential structures as they work together to initiate growth and establish a new plant. Maize, widely cultivated for its grains rich in starch, plays an integral role in both nature and farming practices. This crop holds significant importance within agriculture due to its reproductive capabilities and ability to yield abundant harvests. Through microscopy and histology techniques employed here, we gain insight into the anatomical composition of corn seeds—unveiling their reproductive organs responsible for future generations of plants. With its vibrant blue hues contrasting against botanical elements, this print from Science Photo Library serves as both an artistic masterpiece and educational tool for those fascinated by biology and botany alike.
